The first alpha for Shining Force Central’s community has been released!

Legacies of Veridocia has been in the works for quite some time and has involved many community members. It certainly hasn’t been a smooth ride, but thankfully everybody’s efforts have paid off with the release of the first demo.

The Demo consists of a Story Scene, a battle, and a post-battle story scene, followed by a basic free roam of the map (there’s not much there right now). Once you’ve played through to the free roam, you can reinitiate the battle as many times as desired by walking into the area where the characters begin the battle.

The demo itself is short but extremely polished. If you’ve played Shining Force 2, you’ll recognize the animation style almost immediately, and the portraits and battle scenes all suit the game perfectly. To run the demo you’ll need the latest version of Java installed.
